"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."
In, my opinion the quote means that in order to have freedom you have obey/respect people to obey you back. If you don`t obey as much you won`t have freedom as much either. Everybody has to be equal people have to obey and obey each other people in life want freedom and people got to earn it by obeying.
